Full-Stack Developer
Santiago Duran
I engineer digital solutions that bridge the gap between user needs and business goals. With a background in operations, I know how to write clean, scalable code that actually solves real-world problems.
About
Hey there! My name is Santiago and I enjoy solving puzzles. My interest in software development started back in 2020 after a lot of pandemic free time and a love for understanding things to the core. Before moving into software engineering, I spent years analyzing and improving business processes for government institutions. That experience taught me how to break down complex systems and understand what users actually need. Today, I use that same analytical mindset to build full-stack digital solutions. Whether I'm designing a REST API or crafting a frontend interface, my goal is always the same: to translate business needs into practical software that makes people's jobs easier.
Currently building the QMS Platform, a quality management system with audit workflows and gamified process tracking.
In my spare time, you can usually find me lifting at the gym, catching up on a new game, or relaxing with a great glass of wine.
